Unfortunately, his job with the tigers wasn't to coach football.
-
How are you trading Madden for five Englerts? Makes no sense, and no, Madden isnt "five times" better than Englert. I'd rather have Madden, but they're not that far apart. I'd much rather have both.
-
15% better peripherals? Englert had a higher strikeout rate, lower bb and hit rate, lower whip, better swinging strike rate... Madden is a good prospect, but Englert is in the neighborhood. You want all those you can get. You need to access talent from every source possible.

He's probably going to be the last man in the pen, so he's taking Wily Peralta's job. He's blocking nobody. When anyone earns it, or is ready, they'll get an opportunity.
-
Also, when have you ever seen the Tigers, or any other mlb team, have too many of their starters pan out? You should only hope that happens!
-
on what planet did Ty Madden have five times better results?
-
We were talking ceiling, but those grades are the grades of a mid rotation guy. Texas would be happy to get him back.
-
His fastball is a 50, slider and command at least above average, change is plus, curve is serviceable, repeats his delivery and maintains his stuff. High release point allows his stuff to play up. Not sure what y'all are looking for, but this was a good get.
-
Did you see how m any pitchers they went through last year? I wouldn't worry about opportunities.
-
The fangraphs report was prior to the uptick in the fastball and slider that he was showing towards the end of the year. Player evaluation is not static.
-
His ceiling is a mid rotation guy, do you think those grow on trees? It's very low risk with potentially high reward.
-
They have his fastball at 40 but it improved after a mid season tweak, hitting 96. He also has a very high release point, causing his fb to play up. His change is probably his best pitch, but the slider was flashing plus late.
-
It wasn't a question of poor evaluations, those players played because there weren't better players to push them out.

Doubtful

Might want to give it a little time.

You are a bit of a trencherman.
-
As usual, I'll bring the cocktail weenies. You can't go wrong with those, they taste as good as they look and they come with this delicious red sauce, it looks like ketchup, and it tastes like ketchup, but brother, it ain't ketchup!
-
I expect to let him develop before he's cast in stone.
-
If you are expecting a young pitcher to show positive results stats, while harnessing his stuff and learning his craft, you are expecting a lot.
-
He is ascending, not a finished product.
-
Clevinger's stuff has fallen off.
-
Drafting is tough, the Angels first round picks in '18 and '19 are both available in the Rule 5 draft.
-
Zack Granite, Joe Rock, Tucker Flint?
-
i know what you're thinking; I'll just go on there and grace those losers with my knowledge and insight. But then what comes out is just a petty, woeful word salad of illogical and ill-formed nonsense that doesn't further the discussion of baseball or the Detroit Tigers, but only befuddles or irritates people. This makes you defensive, so you double down on the foolishness.

Go somewhere really quiet, and try really hard, and see if you can come up with one rational, lucid thought.
